What affects the price

When you're looking at a new fireplace, the bottom line depends on a few specific things. First, are we working with an existing chimney or venting system, or does everything need to be built from scratch? The type of fuel matters too—gas, electric, or wood-burning units all carry different installation requirements. You also have to consider the finish work, like custom stonework, mantels, or drywall repairs around the unit. Labor complexity is the biggest factor here. We’ll get you the exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

The 2+10 rule is a standard safety guideline for chimney construction. It requires that a chimney extend at least two feet higher than any part of the building within a ten-foot horizontal distance. This rule is vital for ensuring proper draft, preventing fire hazards, and keeping smoke and combustion byproducts safely away from the home.
